Cheap(er) USB Cable?

Anyone know if there's one for sale?
I've looked on various sites and the cheapest i found was £20, which i'm NOT paying for a USB cable
The cable that came with my phone broke VERY easily and now i'm left with a dead streak and no way to charge it!
The fact that Dell is charging £25 for a cable is just disgusting
Cheers guys.

Not yet, but some day when other manufacturers see sense and use pdmi connectors.

Can't you just return it under warranty?

Isn't the warranty only 30 days?
Yea, I'm dying to get another usb cable or two so I don't have to carry mine around everywhere I go... I was hoping, since they're selling the streak at best buy, soon I'll be able to get one there...???

As the OP is in the UK (or at least quoted prices in Sterling), they would be covered under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 for at least 12 months (and possibly as long as 6 years, given the cost of the cable).

It doesn't help the data connectivity but, you could get a desktop battery charger from eBay, I've just seen one there for £3.99 I just searched eBay for "Dell Streak Battery" and it came up in the results.
HTH.

I've had to get a friend in the USA to get me a car cradle kit from DELL USA and send it to me in Australia. Just got of the phone to OPTUS and Chat with DELL AUST and neither intends on selling accessories for the Streak in Australia.
What a shame

39 euro.. these are expensive cable for a piece of plastic..

I really am surprised that there isn't any 3rd party cables about. I have searched & only find dell's cables that cost a bomb

streak accessories now available from Dell
I just found this while searching the web for Dell Streak Accessories. This was not previously available.

The entire page itself...
All of the items could be found on the net in various locations, and for varied prices, but never saw a Dell/US page for it. One guy on ebay is selling all of this stuff out of his online store for $30 - $40 more expensive than Dell. For months I was looking for a second charging cable and $40-ish was too spensive for me. Now that Dell finally has this page up, $19.99 is not too bad a price.

20 dollers for what should cost 5 bucks resonable come on lol

The exact same cable on Dell's UK page costs £24.22, which according to xe.com converts to US$38.21, so be happy that you can get it for 20 bucks!!

Supply and demand my brothers, I suppose there hasn't been enough streak activity out there as yet to warrant the entrepreneurs in China to make a 10 dollar cable and then a 5 dollar one and then a.... well you get the point. Dell is enjoying this fan fare right now since no other device uses this PDMI connection, well that I know of at least. I bought the $30 set with the extra plug since the usb only works with computers or Dells charger. what a rip off.

Mobilefun were quite bad too!
When official Dell website were selling the car kit for £35, they had it for £61.99!!!
They have updated now to sell it for £39.95 - supposedly saving 36% - Hah!
(Although I am happy with the Dash Genie I bought from them, although it should not be as much as £17.50)

I still don't get why we've not seen the cheaper accessories appear yet for the streak. I had to buy USB N adapter from eBay, not bad for £25.. but I've noticed on my original one that I've had since June not looking so great at the bit where the cable joins the connector. Mind you in all fairness I do charge it quite a lot as I'm always doing something on the phone.

Samsung OEM batteries for GNII

i have been searching but havent found them. My experience with the GN1 is that the OEm batteries last a lot longer than the 3rd party batteries that say they are larger.
Anyone know where to buy these?

Wait a while longer. The trusted seller for Samsung OEM batteries and accessories is a seller named shimshop on eBay. He's a seller from South Korea. I bought all my OEM batteries for Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy SII from him. I'm sure he'll have stuff in the next week or two for the Note II. He already has car docks and mounts for Note II. He ships items within a day from when you pay and stuff always got delivered in about 7 days for me. I live in Australia.
Shimshop Store: http://stores.ebay.com/shimshop

For those that have had the SGS II, SGS III, or the Note...has Samsung made a battery charger/dock type device before? That's something that I'd be interested in and am hoping that the past 2 generations of Galaxy devices would lend people some insight into that type of accessory being available for the Note 2.

I can only assume that this guy is too good to be true, but the, "condition" is the exact same as shimshop:
Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag.

Two batteries plus a charger for a little bit over $10?
And no mention of OEM parts?
Yes, that would be a wonderful knockoff indeed

[Q] Where to buy additional charging cradle?

Anyone know where I can buy additional charging cradles? I'd like a 'travel' one as well as my 'home' one?
Can't find anything on Amaozn...

There's already threads for this. You can't get them

Um... It's not just a simple cradle because we can pair up via NFC with this cradle.

I will sell you my for $180

Samsung's website has replacement charging cradles for $24.99, but they're on backorder.
They do have them in stock on AT&T's site for $25.00.
Got mine today.
Seems identical to the one that came with the Gear:
- NFC
- PC recognizes device

Check the other threads on this, as I posted a 50% discount code from Samsung, and so did another after me. Sorry, but going to bed so can't find and link for you, but do a quick search. Got mine for $17 with tax and shipping, but I recommend ordering 2 when they are back in stock, as shipping is the same I believe.
Cheers!

Back in Stock

UPDATE 1/18/14
They are back in stock at Samsung website. Coupon code (rv18623) still works if you are registered / logged in on Samsung site. Just ordered 2 and does not raise the shipping cost above that for single unit (3.95 US$ I think it was).
EDIT: Got my order confirmation and they DID double up on the shipping

I bought one of these on Amazon under the "Monoy" brand. Works fine, doesn't stay on as well as the original but it is good enough. I got it shipped next day prime for about $33. They seem to be out of the particular one I bought now. There are others you can find via search.

Best Buy is selling now for $25; and many of use got them a couple months back from Samsung for $17.50 including shipping, so try them.

if your still looking i just saw lots of choices on amazon between $10 generic and $30 oem hope that helps also if you have prime most of the oem ones are prime eligible

I have an extra charger cradle available
sold my gear and got a fit. It is on ebay.

If you're looking for the Samsung QI Fast Charger

So I've been looking for the Samsung Fast QI Charger and it seems Samsung is either sold out or haven't released it yet. I did find it on sale here but haven't actually ordered it yet. Not sure of the site and wanted to just share. It's actually on sale as well and they claim it's in stock....

I bought one from Samsung's website about 2 weeks ago. The white one was still on backorder but i wanted black anyway. Also had my gf pick one up in Korea for me before that cuz the price is a lot lower over there.

[Q] is the DEX worth the price?

Anybody with the dex.... Is it worth it?
Going to preorder the unlocked note 8 and get the DEX for $99 and roll it in with the 0% financing so debating if I should.

Wait and buy one from EBay next month..
I get it free with my note 8 (UK) and it'll be going straight on eBay as I imagine lots of others will too

The promotional device that Samsung is giving isn't a DeX is it? I thought it was just a wireless charger... That would be cool if it is the DeX...

In some countries you can choose 128Gb memory card + wireless charger or Samsung 360 camera, some countries will get DeX with no other choices.
I would go for card and charger but that's not a option for me, so DeX it is..

UK gets the Dex

Interesting, I wonder why it is different for UK users?

I have a 256gb and 2x wireless fast chargers. I wish they did the DEX here too lol
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Updating. Yeah, I think it is. I mean, I wish the USB part was retractable and it was also a convertible wireless charger, but it is pretty amazing for what it is. I can pull it up and do things on my phone on a full screen monitor. I think it is worth it *IF* you have the setup to make it efficient.

To me DEX is useless. I rather opt for wireless charger or Gear 360

I'm going to get one only if Samsung honors my preorder through tmobile and gives me the $50 off. They have it listed at $120 so That would bring it down to 70. I already have an HDMI / USB hub but I think I'd actually use the DEX.

I think 120 is current rate. But mrp is 150. 50 off would apply to mrp bringing the total down to 100 not 75. Just my previous experience

Well I'll be getting two Note8's this week and 2 dex.. No other choices in Portugal.. I'll let you know if it is worth it by the next weekend lol

If anyone with a DEX (or anyone that has a DEX coming) wants to trade for one of the US Pre-order Promos (Gear 360 or 128 Gb MicroSD + Wireless Charger) let me know!
I haven't registered for my promo yet, as I already have a few of the chargers and 256 Gb MicroSD's; but honestly don't ever see myself using the Gear 360.
If interested, send me a message and I'm sure we can figure something out!

Edit

I ordered one brand new on eBay and it was only 70 something bucks so you can't beat eBay. I should get it next week.

If youre not using it, it is definately not worth it!
If you use it it's worth the money. It did replace my PC, I only do office and internet stuff. And I have my PC on the go now...

Guys DeX as a pre-order bonus is only for customers in the Europe, for US it's... you know. I would rather go for the 360 Cam or the 128 gb microSD and wireless charger than DeX for which I don't have any use except of multimedia center at my TV but... Nah, I will sell it anyway, useless and rather get some money from it since in EU we don't have compensation for Note 7 owners.
Well we do but only a powerbank for few bucks and that's massive joke.
